In this study, we developed vinegar depending on the quantity consumed and type of peeled and unpeeled roots of Platycodon grandiflorum (PG) using Acetobacter pasteurianus A11-2, analyzed vinegar samples using colorimeter and HPLC for 15 days to assess the characteristics on quality, and evaluated their antioxidant activity using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picry1 hydrazy1 (DPPH) and 2.2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activities. The major result in PG vinegar was the high acidity of 6.39~6.74% and alcohol was totally converted on the 15th day of fermentation. When we fermented vinegar from peeled roots of 8% PG with a starter culture, we observed high contents of acetic acid, platycodin D, and total polyphenol and high antioxidant activity. Moreover, the vinegar fermented using 8% peeled roots of PG had the high intensity on umami and sour taste and low salty, bitter, and astringent tastes. Consequently, we could develop the PG vinegar with quality and functional characteristics from 8% peeled roots and A. pasteurianus A11-2.

The vinegar can be used not only as functional foods but as the new high-quality materials. Lifestyles have changed a lot because of single-person households, women's economic activities, the aging society, the diversification of mass media, and the traveling abroad. Lifestyle diseases have increased with the life extension. The preference for the fermented vinegar, which is safer and healthier than the synthetic vinegar, has increased since the 1990s. The market of the functional fermented vinegars rapidly grew as researches and product developments on biological activities. In particular, the fermented vinegar, which can be enhanced in functionality depending on the characteristic of materials, is useful not only in the food industry but in various industries such as medical, defense, and construction. For the steady growth of the vinegar industry in the future, it is necessary to research and develop the function of the vinegar that can be utilized in various industries.

To prepare the basic information for the fermentation of high quality persimmon vinegar in the farm. the quality of the complex fermented persimmon vinegar(CFPV) was compared to that of naturally fermented persimmon vinegar (NFPV). The titratable acidity of the CFPV was 3% which was the half concentration of the NFPV. The content of total free sugar by HPLC was 6% in CFPV and NFPV was 5%. Organic acid compositions in persimmon vinegar were oxalic acid, malic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, succinic acid and glutaric acid in addition to acetic acid. Total content of the organic acids in NFPV was higer than in CFPV. Especially, the content of latic acid in NFPV was very higher than that of CFPV. the flavour, color and taste of persimmon fruit itself in CFPV were stronger than those in NFPV.

We compared the physicochemical properties of commercial brown rice vinegar fermented with and without ethanol. The pH and total acidity did not significantly differ between the two types of vinegar. Sugar content, reducing sugar content, and free sugar concentration were higher in commercial brown rice vinegar fermented with ethanol, whereas browning, turbidity, and overall color darkness were higher in vinegar fermented without ethanol. The ratio of acetic acid to total organic acids was 0.94 - 0.96 and 0.97 - 1.00 in commercial brown rice vinegar fermented with or without ethanol, respectively. A higher content of total amino acids, 93.07 - 509.48 ppm, was found in vinegar fermented without ethanol. Fermentation conditions affected the physicochemical properties of brown rice vinegar, as shown by significantly higher $\gamma$-aminobutyric acid (GABA) content in brown rice vinegar fermented without versus with ethanol.

The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics and antioxidant activities of vinegar made with Etteum bell flower root (0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2%) during two-step fermentation. Acetic acid was fermented at $30^{\circ}C$ for 16 days and samples of vinegar were extracted at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 16 days. The pH of Etteum bell flower root vinegar did not significantly differ among the samples, but the acidity increased during fermentation. Alcohol content decreased at 16 days of fermentation and less than 1% alcohol was shown in all samples after fermentation. The pure acetic acid yield was 88.85~98.97%, whereby the total phenolic compound content and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activities increased as the ratio of the Etteum bell flower root increased. The sensory scores of vinegar fermented with 1.5% Etteum bell flower root are greater than those of vinegar prepared by other treatments. Therefore, vinegar with 1.5% Etteum bell flower root added is considered to be the most suitable for manufacturing.

We produced the apple vinegar with only apple fruits, no adding sugar and others through two stages fermentation(alcohol fermentation and acetic acid fermentation). At the first stage, apple wine contained 5% alcohol was produced at the 5th day. And through the second stage, acetic acid fer mentation, apple vinegars of which total acidity is 5.88% were produced. In comparision with com mercial vinegars for physicochemical quality, it was the lowest in total acidity. But contents of oxalic, tartaric, malic, citric, succinic acid in it were higher than other vinegars. Especially the content of malic acid in it was higher 5 times than other vinegars. Malic acid was known that it was abundant in apple fruits. Also the contents of free amino acids were distinctly high such as 21.97mg% in two stages fermented apple vingars. Potassium content in it was higher 4 times than other vinegars. So it was supposed that two stages fermented vinegar had much higher quality than commercial vinegars.

The quality characteristics of commercial fermented vinegars made with different ingredients were compared. The pH levels of the persimmon, fig, and brewing and rice vinegars were 3.60, 3.37, and 2.62, respectively. The total acid contents of the brewing, apple, and plum vinegars ranged from 6.33 to 6.57%. The free amino acid contents were detected in the following order: brewing vinegar (521.05 mg/100 g) > fig vinegar (358.89 mg/100 g) > persimmon vinegar (353.02 mg/100 g) > rice vinegar (122.31 mg/100 g) > plum vinegar (103.52 mg/100 g). The free amino acid contents of the commercial fermented vinegars were 56.85~358.89 mg/100 g, and their gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) contents, 0.21~27.22 mg/100 g. In particular, the GABA content of the fig vinegar was 1.3- to 100-fold higher than those of the other vinegars. The total polyphenol compound and total flavonoid contents were detected in the following order: persimmon vinegar > fig vinegar > brewing vinegar > rice vinegar. Hence, the results of this study can provide a new alternative for making functional vinegars containing organic acid and GABA.

In this study, we aimed to develop functional vinegar with different levels of black garlic through two stages of fermentation. Black garlic vinegars were prepared from black garlic and water (w/w) mixed with 1:2 (BG3), 1:5 (BG6), 1:9 (BG9) and 1:11 (BG12), and adding the sugar by adjusting the soluble solids content to $14^{\circ}Brix$. The alcohol content of black garlic vinegar was 5.2-5.5% after 7 days of alcohol fermentation at $25^{\circ}C$. Acetic acid fermented was at $30^{\circ}C$ for 25 days and samples were taken at 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 20 and 25 days. The pH of black garlic vinegar was not significantly different among the samples, but acidity was increased during fermentation. Total polyphenol contents showed irregular changes with the fermentation periods and were higher by black garlic content. At 25 days fermentation, total polyphenol contents were 18.96-56.56 mg/100 mL. Acetic acid content of black garlic vinegars was higher than other organic acids. S-allyl cysteine (SAC) contents of BG3 and BG6 were 13.03-14.54 and 1.69-2.20 mg/L, respectively. However SAC was not detected in BG9 and BG12. In 25 days fermented black garlic vinegar, the major mineral was K with a content ratio of 61-68% of total minerals. The DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity of 25 days fermented black garlic vinegar were stronger at higher black garlic content.
